I happened to be listening to the press conference on the radio.
I thought the guy was as rude as Trump.
I had no idea that I was missing so much by not seeing the video.
If this is really doctored... sheesh.

Look at the penalties that didn't happen for people on the wrong side of "justice". For all the riots resulting from the initial Rodney King verdict (mentioned in the article), nothing happened to the prosecution who failed to get a verdict. The junior DA who failed here is still around doing his thing. The senior DA who should've taken the case personally was replaced by someone equally incompetent at high-profile cases (just ask OJ). One of Rodney King's jurors got engaged to him -- I guess a few million dollars makes for some nice beer goggles, but that's fucked.

Using double jeopardy as a way of masking a fucked-up legal system's inadequacies is bullshit, in my book, because it doesn't lead to fixing the bullshit that got people there in the first place. If you're going to prosecute, choose jurisdiction and type of crime carefully. Fix your fucked-up complexities and bullshit before inflicting it upon others repeatedly.

The Democratic Virginia Governor crap just boggles me.
How the fuck does someone make it through a dozen years of high-profile elected politics before someone digs up their yearbook?
No one did opposition research? Really?
Oh, as someone who worked on a yearbook, I can't imagine some KKK blackface picture would've even been published in the '80s.
Doesn't look good for whoever the editor of that yearbook is.
